My twitter add-on no longer works. Is this the result of the change to OAuth by the good folks at Twitter? Do we have any options?

Hi,

It looks like the plugin will have to be modified to use the new OAuth libraries. The plugin will have to be re-released once this is done.

Hope this helps.

Hi markr,

We have a new version of the plugin available. Please let me know if you have any trouble with it at all!

Hi hvbuilder,

The plugin is trying to create that file and your directory permissions won't allow it. I'll update the plugin to work around this problem, but in the meantime, you can either make the plugins directory writable or upload the attached empty file.

I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any questions.
All the best,
Chris

Hi Chris,

It is possible to modify the link attached to the post on Twitter (via ...) ?
Currently, the plugin indicates [url "http://example.com/"]http://example.com/[/#0000ff][/url]

It would be also interesting to be able to modify the name of the application.

Thanks for your suggestions !

Hi Djulia,

To have your feed display a customized "via ..." name and link, you'll need to create your own Twitter Application:

[url http://dev.twitter.com/login?redirect_after_login=%2Fapps%2Fnew]http://dev.twitter.com/login?redirect_after_login=%2Fapps%2Fnew[/url]

Application Name: this is the name that will appear on your twitter feed
Application Description: 10 character minimum, I don't think this displays anywhere.
Application Website: this is the link that will appear on your twitter feed
Application Type: Browser
Callback URL: http://example.com/
Default Access type: Read & Write

After you create your application, you'll be redirected to its details page — here you'll find your application's "Consumer key" and "Consumer secret". Copy-and-paste these into your Twitter Post plugin (cmsAdmin/plugins/twitterPost/twitterPost.php):

$GLOBALS['TWITTERPOST_CONSUMER_SECRET'] = "paste your consumer secret here";
$GLOBALS['TWITTERPOST_CONSUMER_KEY'] = "paste your consumer key here";

Now login to CMS Builder and go to Admin > Plugins. You'll need to "Authorize" the Twitter Post plugin with this new information.

All future posts will display your customized application name and link.

I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any questions.
All the best,
Chris
